The wire wheel compa- ny has been around for 21 years, as it is one of the few that was able to adapt and survive not only the fickle trends of the custom auto world, but also the econom- ic changes of the industry. Its grass roots foundation is a big part of the company's success, as Owner Gustavo Villalobos and his family started the business in a small shop in Pico Rivera. Over the years it has grown into the force it is today, and Galaxy Wire Wheels have become a go- to choice for many auto Custom builders. Galaxy is capable of creating a mass-production wheel, but has instead chosen to build one set of wheels at a time, creating a quality wheel that it can proudly stand behind. This also allows Galaxy to have a good one-on-one rela- tionship with its customers. The American-assembled wheels that it produces are available in a variety of sizes and styles; from tra- ditional all-chrome, to fully powder coated to match the concept of your vehicle. If you would like to stand out from the rest, it can even build you custom wheels. These include every- thing from a cross-lace wheel design that seems to be the new fad, to custom-engraved combi- nations that have also become popular over the recent years. Whether you are looking for a custom wire wheel, a traditional wheel, or if you need to repair a damaged wheel, make sure to look up Galaxy and call to get started on your project.

BF GOODRICH TO LAUNCH MOST ADVANCED EVER ALL-TERRAIN TIRE FOR LIGHT TRUCKS BFGoodrich ® Tires, the company that created the first all-terrain tire in 1976, is set to launch its most advanced light truck tire ever this fall with the new All- Terrain T/A ® KO2 tire. Engineered from BFGoodrich's cham- pionship off-road motorsports racing tech- nology, the KO2 delivers exceptional toughness, durability and traction for tra- versing harsh conditions, including gravel, dirt, rock, mud and snow. The new KO2 will give consumers the confidence to take on the toughest challenges for work or play. The BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tire is the first consumer tire to incorporate the company's race-proven and race-winning CoreGard™ technolo- gy that gives it unmatched toughness against sidewall splitting. Compared to the already formidable current KO tire, the new KO2 is 20 percent stronger in this critical off-road performance area . The rugged KO2 is also durable, lasting twice as long on gravel roads and 15 percent longer on asphalt, allowing off-road enthusiasts to extend their adventures and working professionals to get more use out of the tire. In addition, the KO2 improves its already legendary tradition of all-terrain performance with 10 percent greater trac- tion in the mud and 19 percent greater traction in the snow compared to the pre- vious-generation KO tire. The KO2 is an all-season tire that will carry the 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, indicating that it exceeds the Rubber Manufacturer Association's severe snow traction requirements. Building on BFG's long heritage as an innovative all-terrain tiremaker, the KO2 incorporates technology developed and tested through the brand's legendary off- road motorsports teams that have earned 80 off-road wins at races in the Baja peninsula – by far the most of any other tire brand. "Thirty-eight years ago, BFGoodrich launched a tire that created the all-terrain category," said Dan Newsome, BFGoodrich Tires Country Marketing Manager for Light Truck Tires. "Just a year later, the company launched the orig- inal KO, which defined the all-terrain tire category for decades. BFGoodrich is once again unleashing a game-changer that will take on anything 'Playground Earth' has to dish out. It grips better on mud and snow, while lasting longer on gravel and asphalt. The KO2 is designed as a tire that will pose no boundaries for drivers taking on a new world of adventures." In developing the KO2, BFG engi- neers leveraged the latest off-road racing technology to provide consumers with an advanced tire to meet a range of condi- tions. KO2 borrows heavily from the BFGoodrich Baja T/A KR2 tire, which was equipped on nine of the top 10 finish- ers in the 2014 Tecate SCORE Baja 500. The KO2's tough sidewalls use CoreGard technology developed in the Baja T/A KR2 for split and bruise-resist- ant sidewall rubber and a thicker, extend- ed shoulder to prevent sidewall failures. Computer modeling was used to predict object paths and create a sidewall design most likely to deflect protruding objects, reducing the chances of splits and snags. The result is a tougher tire for consumers who take on trails of various conditions. The KO2 has a new tread design and rubber formulation that helps it last twice as long on gravel and 15 percent longer on asphalt than the previous tire. The tread rub- ber has been optimally blended to reduce chips and tears on gravel. A new footprint shape and interlocking tread design provide more uniform wear over the long haul. Special stone ejectors push objects out of the tread to reduce drilling into the tire. The KO2 also has a range of tread fea- tures for better mud and snow traction. Side-Biter lugs in the sidewall improve trac- tion in mud, snow and rocks. Raised bars in the shoulder help release compacted mud for better traction in soft soil. 3-D sipes cre- ate biting edges for better snow traction. "The KO2 has an obvious appeal for the serious off-road enthusiast," said Newsome. "It's also expected to appeal to anyone who regularly faces challenging gravel, dirt or snow-covered roads. The KO2's toughness, durability and traction – as well as its improved treadlife and great road manners – deliver strong benefits, whether for work, play or just to get home." The KO2 will be released to con- sumers on Nov. 1, initially in 12 sizes fit- ting a range of vehicles, including Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, Toyota and Nissan pick-up trucks and SUVs as well as Plus Fitments for a wide variety of vehi- cles. The MSRP for the tire starts at $222. Additional sizes will be released in 2015. For more information about the BFGoodrich® All-Terrain T/A ® KO2 tire, visit www.BFGoodrichTiresKO2.com.
